Reporting back. I decided to adjust them because they were dead silent, even when cold so I couldn't be sure they were n't holding the valves open a bit. I set them at 0.016 and 0.018 - wider then spec, I know. I can now just hear them when I start up.
The car has seemed low on torque (dies on hils, head winds etc) so I'm looking forward to seeing if this makes a difference.
